Hot pot dinner at Viva's

This couple of weeks have past fast with me busy eating around with friends. It was like a festival week when you are supposed to try out all kinds of special food.

It started with the "hot pot" dinner at Viva's apartment. Yes, it was the Sichuan hot pot that I am specialized in, but ever since I showed it to Viva, she got so badly addicted to it, that whenever she invites Friends over, she always treats them with the hot pot. Of course, she always giving me credit by making it clear that "it is Zhuo's recipe". As if the patent was registered by me and it is illegal to use it without mentioning the ownership.


After dinner, Viva's husband Matt and his friend Chad volunteered to entertain us by acting anything we girls name them to do, so Viva and her little niece, who is infatuated with Chad, gave out topics like "gay", , "monkey", "psychic"... I have to admire the guys for being willing to put themselves in some very silly and embarrassing roles, and maybe because of the effects of alcohol, I actually thought it was very funny--with Viva's home made coconut sticky rice cake in one hand and a glass of blackberry wine cooler in the other, I laughed till my facial muscle hurt. That night, I also tried "long island ice tea" and almost thought I could handle alcohol like other people, until I got home and found out I was red and burning like an oven from forehead all through stomach.
